Its the one time Ive really managed to get one over on a car salesman so I like it.

Pushed a hard bargain buying the car but he still got a fair price for it . He really thought it was a £50 plate and as he was busy couldnt be arsed to do anything with it. When I told him his and his bosses faces changed colour quite quickly :D:D

Does anyone know the process and cost of putting an age related plate back on your car? anyone done it before ?

when you take yours off, they usually re-issue the original number to the car, it's just part of the transfer process. But keep it on mate, don't let them get to you :augie

Its an utter piece of pi$$ (says he who has three:o).

You simply post off your docs (or nip into the nearest DVLA office) and complete the form to stick it on to a retention certificate for 1/2/3 years as you wish....each costs a bit more and includes a transfer fee of £80 for when the plate gets re-used, then you get back an age-related reg number for your car. Sometimes its the original number, sometimes not. I've had both happen.

Then you sell the plate for a given value plus the £80 transfer fee.

Or you can just apply to have it transferred to another car that you own.

But seriously easy.

Note of caution....they are correctly known as 'cherished' registrations because they ain't 'private', the DVLA owns them, so as Daved knows, if you abuse them say by having an incorrectly spaced plate or wrong font, after a couple of warnings they can and do take the reg away from you.

Or if you forget to renew the retention cert before it expires, ditto, kiss it goodbye forever.
